Just stared my plumbing apprenticeship and I’m loving it. Can’t wait to become a journeyman!!
You got this! What is your favorite thing about plumbing?
Same here I’m currently 1 1/2 in and having joy.
After a career as a fisheries biologist, I started nursing school, but left midway through degree due to vaccine mandates. Started plumbing, was jackhammering a concrete slab for drainage work less than 18hrs after acing my last pathophysiology exam. No looking back, plumbing is wonderful.
im 36yo graphic designer, but after watching this im thinking of becoming a plumber
Used to work with Graphics Design. Quit at 25 and got into plumbing apprenticeship, Im 35 now and love it, even expanded into waterjetting and watervac digging, bought a vac/jetting truck I can jet up to 600mm pipes at 200 bar.
The freedom to pick jobs and how I do them with my own expertise is amazing and there is no end to work, private and city appointed.
I dropped out of college after my first year. I started plumbing 2 years ago not making much. Going into my third year of plumbing as an apprentice I’m making over 60k. My eldest brother is a foreman for my company and brings home 110k with no overtime. A lot of my friends who went to college or are still in are always shocked whenever they learn how much trades make. I absolutely love plumbing and I never saw myself doing it. Opportunities are endless in the trades. You may start out low but I’m making double from when I started 2 years ago.
Hi I am a new learner, could you help recommend some books for plumbing
Third year making over 60k? What area of plumbing, commerial, new construction, service? Also if you dont mind me asking what state you work in. Thanks
Just hit my year and a half mark as an apprentice. Best decision I ever made was to become a plumber. Keep up the good work Roger!
I'm about to hit one year. Definitely a great choice!
I’m fresh out of highschool I’m 19 years old I want to get into plumbing and start making money I really don’t know where to start and I really know absolutely nothing but I am willing to learn and grow and I know I want it more than my peers
whats pay like? im a tile guy right now specializing in bathroom remodels. i can go general stuff but im curious
@@jakegarcia6143 depends on what state your in
@@jakegarcia6143As of 2022, First year apprentices make 21.09 an hour plus benefits
Everything you said is spot on, I really want to get to where your at now though as well. Always keep growing
Finally got in a open shop plumbing after years of trying to join the trade and I’m loving it
Hey Roger, I started watching your videos two years ago and decided to give plumbing a shot. I've now been a plumbing apprentice for three months at an industrial plumbing company. However I have a question. Obviously non of us want to be around asbestos and it should be removed by specialists when possible however when working on old buildings it is everywhere. Can you do a video on awareness of asbestos for plumbing apprentices, best practices and safety recommendations? I've often seen even experienced plumbers cutting away asbestos lagging without PPE and want other apprentices to protect themselves. Thanks!
Roger
You are exactly righg. On all fronts! As a Warehouse wholesaler specialist I love your videos!
Love Plumbing from Philippines watching
True that I miss plumbing construction so bad thinking about leaving fitter construction and trying out service plumbing even though they get paid half and I got weld certs.
Love all your videos I learn so much from you thank you 🙏
I'm thinking about moving to Canada and going to trade school plumbing is something I've always been interested in
I became a qualified plumber following in my dads footsteps. Was one of the best decisions of my life.
Damn Roger. You almost made me cry. I'm working as a service plumber. A servant in ones home is what satisfies me the most.
Got my apprentice license yesterday and I'm super excited to have taken this step towards becoming a full plumber
That is awesome! Congrats
Hey I been plumbing for 22 years I can honestly say it's taken good care of me got me a couple of houses vehicles
Thank you Roger for making these videos, I’m 20 now and about to go to San jac in Houston to study and wish I started much sooner in getting into plumbing.
Best of luck!
I’m 35 with a texas master plumbing license, been in the trade since 16 yrs old, getting to the point I should be working for my self 😅
Mr. Roger I really enjoy your videos I admire how you carry yourself and how you motivate us young people. BUT HVAC IS THE BEST TRADE (lol that’s the trade I’m in). All joke asides my fellow young people get in the trades it’s really worth it
Thanks for including me in the vid! Brought back memories 💯
Any time…Love the work you do 👍🏼
@@RogerWakefield 🙏🏼
Best trade there is! ♥️
💯
2nd year plumbing apprentice and I love what I do.
Love it! What's your favorite part?
@@RogerWakefield water piping
I haven't seen the video yet, but I agree with the title.
Watch it! Let me know what you think
My dad is a master plumber up in MN. I always admired him for all his hard work he did. I'm 31 right now, and wondering about entering in the trade. I feel like it is too late for me to look at the trades due to physical needs.
My friend, i'm turning 36 and thinking about doing the same. The way I see it - if you're not enjoying what you do and you have an "in" through your family, it might be worth looking into it ( though I don't know your physical needs as you stated). My whole mindset is that I don't want to be 50 looking back at 35 thinking "I should have done something then".
Time is going to pass anyway!
Yo there are guys 40 years old getting into it here
My dudes I joined at 33 am 36 now, its possible
I start my apprenticeship in three weeks, I’m 34. I’m going for it!
No one talks about this but I love to travel I’ve taken my plumbing skills and traveled working in places not just in different states but other countries. Kinda like a traveling nurse would do. Get out if your comfortable zone and work the trade and travel.
You're able to use your license and use it in other countries and states with no problems? Where are you located?
Can you do a laymens fluid dynamics basic tutorials.........both utilizeable and also just interesting
Hey Roger, i love your content, i just have a question, ive been living to the same neighbor and his family for 11 years, our children are growning up together, we are in our 40s now, he has owned a commercial plumbing company the entire time we have been neighbors. Throughout the years he has asked me here and there that i should come work for him and be an apprentice and learn the trade. Early on i wasnt able to take him on the offer because of my wife and my schedules to balance the children and life, but im asking now if i should accept him on the offer and go to work for him. My only concern is that i dont want to go and work for him and fail at the job or mess up and if puts a hinder on our relationship, could you pleaae give me your insight. Thank you for all your videos, have a good one
Go for it, if he’s asked you multiple times you don’t know how many more he’ll ask before giving up. If you’re interested in doing it there is no downside..
Superb ! Sir could you suggest me how to get a job as fresher beginner after 4 yrs of gap due to family reasons, i am a hvac design engineer in Aec construction industry completed my studies then internship of 6 months also experience in 2019 but i haven't joined any company bcoz my mother was working alone here in my hometown so i helped her with domestic works etc but now i am free after this month to hunt for a job so i am anxious about how should i plan or approach the upcoming challenges now to get hired effectively without wasting time or coming across as unprofessional in any way infront of recruiters ? What books would be useful to read for around this topic to know more about getting selected faster in company ??
Plumbing is the single most important aspect of society in the world. Without functioning running water and sewer lines, modern civilization as we know it ceases to exist. Hence why we make the money we do. We charge a premium for a reason.
If you can learn plumbing you can easily learn electrical. Like electricity flows in a loop you can say water flows similarly 😅 if you can learn and master both you can go anywhere in the world and find good paying work.
I'm currently a truck driver been in the industry 16 years now and want out. I've thought about trades but not sure where to start and also worried as I'm the only income for my family.
Start talking to companies in your area you’re interested in and see what they require to get going. You got this! 👍🏼
#14 Plenty of Coors light !!!
I've been thinking of going into the trade business. Not sure between plumbing and electric. Any thoughts
Well if you don't like getting shocked I would go the plumbing route...plus plumbers are smarter and cleaner anyways
Debating between doing plumbing, hvac, or pest control
Bro stay away from pest control
@@jeremyzelt3007 why do you say that?
Can’t do side jobs with pest lol $$$$
In my totally non-biased opinion…I would do plumbing
Roger, I need help with plumbing apprentice license in Texas :/
Journeyman 25 years and absolutely Love Plumbing. I have 3 boys and not sure if any of them want to be Plumbers.
Educate them on it! They might like it
This would be a much different world without the plumbing trade.
I used to lighthearted tease the plumbing engineers who I worked with by pointing out that they only had to remember 1 rule...water flows downhill.
Of course, I also used to tell our sprinkler engineers that they had the easiest job...plumbing that leaks.
😅
Never to late to start a career in Plumbing. Your life experience will help you more then you know.
Been in plumbing for 4 years I’m gonna take my test and get my license but I think I’m gonna go into carpentry I just got no patience for plumbing anymore 😭
Change companies first. It might be refreshing

Hey i am interested in plumbing i am 14. I have been interested in plumbing, i want to start my business someday. Any Advice?
Start as an apprentice, get as much experience as you can, take courses or watch videos on money management, business management, etc, as tradespeople that’s something you don’t learn and get taught enough about
My boyfriend just started a plumber apprenticeship and loves it. He is making over $800 a week and after 4 months will be getting commission. I never knew that it worked that fast.
That’s awesome! We need more plumbers, so there is plenty of room for advancements (depending on the company)
@@RogerWakefield Do you feel like 4 months is enough time to learn the trade?
If he is learning from a good teacher and working hard and applying himself, I think it is enough time
If I’m being honest one of the main reasons why I’m becoming a plumber is cause of the money it pays great and in nyc there’s always work available
The pay is great, and plumbers are needed all over the country.
Just scared I’m not smart enough to do it. Wanna give my family a better life but very discouraged because of no experience at all
They will give you your experience and as long as you apply yourself and study after you get home it will all come to you and you should have no problem
My problem, our industry and all of the commission service companies. From a/c, electrical to plumbing. It has become a scam. They hire salesman,, not tradesman. Overselling,up selling,lying and such. I am 60 years old, disgusted where our industry has gone
Does Roger have the nicest looking shirts or what?!
I've got a good shirt guy
I been working as a aprendis commercial plumber for almost 3 years, but the salary in Dallas tx isn't great for aprendis commercial plumber. I would keep looking for a better place to work.
Emailed the local 100 in mesquite. Hoping they get back to me.
Good luck!
hi
Howdy
I only want to work for myself
👏
I hope you live long and comfortably..............but, when you die.........that stache deserves a casket of its own
I've got a bad knee, and bad everything else............I don't like going into peoples homes........can I still become a plumber..........I'm almost 40 and I need something I can make money so I can start a family.............like yesterday
Sounds like you would like commercial or new construction rather than service, not having to go into peoples homes…although you would still be doing a lot of manual labor
Highrise, you get in their homes before they ever move in
How many times does poop get on you
Almost 0
Definitely not, its a decent trade but what i do is far easier and cleaner.
What trade is that?
He is providing an electrician a feminine job
You mean Steamfitting. Plumber on steroids.
Absolutely false ya are like divas. Wanna be plumbers
@tonea9851 Wanna be plumbers?
Is that why we have so many plumbers trying to get their steam license?
All you need to know in plumbing is shit rolls downhill and don't bite your fingernails.
Much prefer working on boiler, gas, oil, steam than installing sinks and toilets 🤣
Sounds like something a steamfitter would say
Delivering good clean potable water? Water full of horrible chemicals delivered in plastic pipe which is so bad for health.
We're not in charge of the quality or cleanliness of water being distributed into the homes...but installing a water filtration system would help with that..
No Roger plumbing is not the best trade by far lad...........
What do you think is the best?
Amen👍🏽🙏🏽🤎
If I start a career in plumbing could I possibly start my own plumbing company?
It will take some time....don't expect to start a career in plumbing then open a business right away...or even in a few years, you need the experience first. But opening a company is a great goal to have!
